Nearing dusk, when the western sky begins its fiery prelude to another night on Lake Havasu, you might find Marti Nash drifting in her pedal boat, not far out from the short trail that leads to her front yard. Almost any day is right for drifting on the lake, in this place where every month has shades of summer, and the air even at dusk stays as warm as the tones of chocolate and cinnamon that color the cliffs and hills. Here on the downriver end of Lake Havasu, a long and meandering boat ride from the excitement of the London Bridge area, life is slow enough for feeding wild ducks, or spying a gawky blue heron off the port bow of a pedal boat, or swirling one’s feet through fishy waters that aren’t quite emerald, and aren’t quite topaz, and become something else altogether in the mixing.<P> Marti loves colors like that; unnamed, even undiscovered. Although she also works in printmaking, ceramics, pastels, and charcoal sketches, it’s acrylics she loves most. With acrylics, one can blend together other people’s colors into one’s own, new colors that swirl on the pallette like the painterly brushstrokes of Van Gogh, or like the curling clouds of dust kicked up by hooves at a rodeo. Both Van Gogh and the rodeo remind Marti of her place of origin, North Dakota: she came to cherish the one while earning her Bachelor of Science in the Visual Arts at North Dakota State University in Fargo, came to cherish the other as an enduring subject for her paintings. Whether one of her works captures a personality in portraiture, or steals a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the American West, all of her paintings convey her passion for discovery. Visit her store and discover them for yourself.<P>
